My thanks to everyone who's commented so far. If you know of anymore more bands/artists/albums that should be on this list but aren't, let me know.

This list is still very much a work in progress. More bands/artists/albums, better formatting, and more links are still to come.

Also, bands that are not themselves entirely instrumental, but have at least one instrumental release, will be listed with the name(s) of said instrumental release(s) below the band's/artist's name in the following format:

Writing this journal is a way to have a link from the page for the track to this journal entry so that people can come here and read the lyrics.

These lyrics are from the track leech recorded in 1987, probably 'written' by me in 1986. Coming up with it was inspired by seeing the band Gore in a bar in Amsterdam in 1986 (I'll admit to this gladly, and that pink hendrix hairdrier was influenced by the Butthole Surfers; and remember, I am not, nor was I ever, a guitarist or bass player, on which I respectively came up with each of these 'tunes', so their simplicity is no surprise, though in a way also their strength (and I must add that Alan and Greg did add their own things to the basics that I came up with)).

I did the vocals on this track (played the drums too), and wrote the lyrics (also 'wrote' the song; i.e. sat with a guitar and figured it out, and it's hardly Django Reinhardt or something), so I figure I have the right to post my own lyrics here, especially as they're presented here to hear for free anyway…
